After playing with his Spirit for a while, Xin grew a bit tired and remembered the system again, immediately pulling it up.
He asked with some anticipation, “System, what features do you have after loading for so long?
Is there a beginner’s gift package or something?”
“Please choose your faction, Host.
The system will provide a beginner’s gift package based on your choice.”
Upon hearing this, Xin could only look at the choices before him.
Relying on his foresight, Xin immediately ruled out the Upper Three Sects.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect was currently in seclusion, and even if he chose it, he might not find it, and even if he found it, he might not be able to join.
As for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, there was even less to say; one was reduced to a third of its members, and the other was completely wiped out.
Even if he joined, he might not survive if Spirit Hall attacked.
Next were the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire.
Xin pondered these for a while and also ruled them out.
It wasn’t easy to join these two forces.
First, the Star Luo Empire: if he joined, the emperor would still be Dai Mubai, so he might as well join Shrek.
As for the Heaven Dou Empire, they were already backstabbed by Spirit Hall without even knowing it.
As for Spirit Beasts, there was even less to say.
Xin himself wasn’t a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, so how could he blend in?
He feared that if he chose this, he would never complete the mission.
Looking at it this way, only three options remained:
Spirit Hall
Shrek/Tang Sect
Freedom
Spirit Hall was the easiest to enter, but whether he would be valued was another matter, and the enemies he would face in the end were terrifying.
Shrek was the simplest way to clear the game; as long as he didn’t court death, he could at least live very comfortably.
But now that Xin had activated the system, he had a bit of a desire not to be subservient to others.
After a long period of contemplation, Xin firmed his resolve, took a deep breath, and asked, “System, I choose Freedom.”
This was Xin’s final decision.
First, not joining the war, while not meaning he wouldn’t be drawn into it, was a way to stay away from the center of the conflict.
Whether he became a god in the end didn’t matter to Xin; as long as he lived comfortably, that was enough.
Finally, and most crucially, Xin wanted his own force.
“Choice successful.”
“Congratulations, Host, you have received the Freedom Beginner’s Gift Package.”
“Please note, Host, by choosing Freedom, you cannot join other Sects or forces.
You can create your own or become a free Spirit Master.”
Xin, who had originally intended to create his own force, immediately opened the so-called Freedom Beginner’s Gift Package.
“Congratulations, Host, you have received one advanced Spirit Master academy and six Dimensional Summoning Scrolls.”
